Misapplied management makes matters worse: Spatially explicit control leverages biotic interactions to slow invasion.
Ecol Appl

Article Synopsis
- Invasive species management has varied approaches but remains challenging, with some methods inadvertently aiding the invaders instead of controlling them.
- The mid-20th century case of the Red Imported Fire Ant in the US illustrates that broad-spectrum pesticides not only failed to control the fire ants but may have exacerbated the problem by killing native ants and reducing competition.
- The study emphasizes the importance of considering biotic interactions and spatial factors in management strategies, suggesting that leveraging competition with native species can enhance control efforts and avoid unintended consequences.

The CROPROTECT project and wider opportunities to improve farm productivity through web-based knowledge exchange.
Food Energy Secur
May 2016
Rothamsted Research Harpenden Hertfordshire AL5 2JQ UK.
A key global 21st century challenge is to maximize agricultural production while minimizing use of resources such as land, water, and energy to meet rising demand for produce. To meet this challenge, while also adapting to climate change, agriculture will have to become more knowledge intensive and deploy smarter farming techniques. The intention of this study was to: (1) Highlight the opportunity for web-based knowledge exchange to increase farm productivity and thus contribute to achieving food and energy security, (2) Give some examples of online farming information services such as the "CROPROTECT" tool I am developing in the UK, the CABI "Plantwise" Knowledge Bank and the IRRI "Rice Doctor," and (3) Consider lessons learnt so far.
